All the scrumptiousness of a snickerdoodle cookie baked into a muffin. The idea for this muffin popped into my mind, so I went on a quick internet search for a recipe. When the search yielded nothing, I decided to make up a recipe myself. I wanted the tops to come out crinkled with cinnamon sugar like the namesake cookie. I also wanted to use cream of tartar in the batter, since that is a key ingredient in the cookies.
Success! We now have a new family favorite muffin. The cinnamon sugar is a bit crisp on top and the muffin is slightly sweet and vanilla -y. Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. cream of tartar
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 Tbs. sugar + 1 tsp. cinnamon for topping
Instructions
- In a bowl, stir together the flour, salt, cream of tartar and baking soda.
- In a mixer bowl, cream the butter and sugar.
- Add the eggs and mix.
- Add the milk and vanilla and mix until well combined.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, just until moistened.
- Fill muffin cups 2/3 of the way full of batter.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. I just pinched some between my fingers and sprinkled the top of each muffin.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Here is a picture of the tops of the muffins, so you can see how much they resemble snickerdoodle cookies.

Wow! Awesome Tiffany! It really does look just like the cookie.
Yum! Can’t wait to make these!
Brilliant!
Looks delicious and simple! I will be making these TODAY!! I love your creativity.
Tiffany! Snickerdoodles are my FAV cookie! I can’t wait to make these for breakfast this weekend at the track! Thank you!
Um…..YUM!! So would you consider these decent breakfast muffins or more of a treat? Definitely making them soon!
This recipe just made my world a little closer to perfect!
nice. I have a recipe here http://chroll.blogspot.com/2009/05/sunday-baking.html but I want to try yours!!
Cheryl, that’s a much different recipe. I thought about rolling the muffin around in cinnamon sugar, but couldn’t figure out how that would work since muffin batter is pretty runny. That’s more true to the cookie though.
These look SOO good! I love snickerdoodles…will be trying these soon!
That is my hubby’s FAVORITE cookie – he says I have to make these!
My husband’s favorite cookie is snickerdoodles. I am going to have to surprise him with these! Thanks!
These turned out perfect! I love those cinnamon tops! Stopped by to say hi from Julie’s – I love what I see!
I love the cookies so I’ll definitely have to try the muffins. Sounds so good.
My grandma makes the BEST snickerdoodles. I can’t wait to try this muffin recipe. Thanks!
What an awesome idea! Thank you for this recipe! I’m going to make it for my girl’s night out treat tonight!
I want to make these!! They look so yummy! I don’t make muffins or cupcakes too often and I almost always use liners. Do you grease the pan first, or grease and flour? I hate peeling liners off of muffins, but I hate them sticking to the pan more.
Thanks! they look divine.
Karen, I do grease the muffin pan. i really like to use Baker’s Joy baking spray that has flour in it. It works great to keep things from sticking to the pan.
We made these last week and they were fantastic! Thanks for the great recipe.
How many muffins does the receipe yield?
Also do know know how many calories &grams of fat for each month? Thanks
Mary, it makes 12 muffins. I don’t know about the calories and fat.
I know in the cookies you dont HAVE to Have cream of tartar, would it make a difference in the muffins? I have it all except for that and my kiddo loves the cookie. Thanks
Carrie, you can skip the cream of tartar and use 1 Tbs. baking powder instead. Happy cooking!
Wow, I love Snickerdoodles, these would be great! YUMMMMMM! ~Heidi
Just put these in the oven! Added some nutmeg too and skipped the creme of tartar as I didn’t have it.
I’m making these in just a few minutes. I’ve been promising Anthony for three days that I’d get to them “tomorrow” and today just happens to be the day. YUM!
I just made these…YUM YUM YUM!! Can’t wait to try some more recipes.
I just wanted to say thank-you for this recipe! I have always done well with breads, quick breads, cookies, cakes and pies, but for some reason any muffins-from-scratch recipe I tried just never came out right – but these came out PERFECT! I am going to try your Apple Brown Betty Muffins recipe next. No more mixes for me!!!
I tried this recipe and it is FANTSTIC! The only difference I made was substitute the cup of butter with half a cup of coconut oil and half a cup of apple sauce. They tured out soo fluffy and delicious! Definitely keeping this recipe!!
